Bill > A06106

This bill amends the New York Public Health Law to include air ambulance services as a covered health care service under the Child Health Plus (CHPlus) program. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "covered health care services" in section 2510 of the public health law by inserting the phrase "air ambulance services" into the existing list of medical services that are covered. This means that children enrolled in the Child Health Plus program would now have air ambulance transportation expenses covered, expanding the range of emergency medical services available to them. The bill is straightforward, adding just a few words to the existing law, and would take effect immediately upon passage. The Child Health Plus program is a New York state health insurance program that provides low-cost comprehensive health coverage to children under 19 years old who do not qualify for Medicaid but whose family income is below a certain threshold.
